# Available options

## Number format

You can select the number format that you want to use to number your headings. You can choose from a number of default settings or define your own custom formatting.

| **Options** | **Example** |
| --- | --- |
| *decimal* | 1, 2, 3, 4 |
| *full-decimal* | one, two, three, four |
| *lower-latin* | a, b, c, d |
| *lower-roman* | i, ii, iii, iv |
| *lower-greek* | α, β, γ, δ |
| *upper-latin* | A, B, C, D |
| *upper-roman* | I, II, III, IV |
| *upper-greek* | Α, Β, Γ, Δ |
| *custom* | See [custom format](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NH/pages/2583134902/Formatting+options#Custom-format) |

## Starting number

The default starting number is *1*. If you want to start at a higher number, you can configure it here. You can add a comma separated list to change the starting number of several levels of headings. For example, adding *1,3,3* starts the second and third heading at 3.

## Starting heading

The default heading to start numbering is *H1*. You can choose a different heading if you want to have unnumbered titles, for example.

## Skip headings

All headings are included by default. If you want to skip certain headings, you can configure it here. You can choose multiple headings by separating them with a comma. For example, if you only want to number headings as 1 - 3, you can skip the rest of the headings by entering this list: `H4,H5,H6`.

# Custom format

When you select *custom format* as the Number format, additional fields are added to the configuration. Each field represents a heading level and allows you to define your own numbering format for this heading.

> ℹ️ When a field is left empty, the heading is not numbered.

The format can consist of a combination of regular characters and numbering values. Numbering values can be added in between square brackets and have the following format:

```
[heading.format]
```

Replace heading with the heading level that you want to use: H1 - H6. Replace format with one of the available formats from the [Number format table](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NH/pages/72679897/Formatting+options+-+Data+Center#Number-format) earlier on this page.

| **Example** | **Result** |
| --- | --- |
| H1 format: `Chapter [h1.decimal]`<br>H2 format: `[h1.decimal].[h2.upper-latin]` | # Chapter 1<br>## 1.A<br>## 1.B |
